Good Shepherd's Garden Party ~ Week 6

Yesterday's party was rather hurried because of our extracurricular activities this weekend. I only got a chance to snap a few closeup pics of our food while I was putting it all together.

~ Bride and groom strawberries ~

These are fun to make and turn out so cute even if they aren't perfectly dressed to the nines!

~ Our crown cake ~

This Strawberry Boston Cream Cake is one we like to serve when we do a formal May crowning celebration. I don't think we will get a chance to have a formal celebration this year, but I plan on squeezing in a simple one. Like a good friend said, "Better late than never!"
We call this cake a Queen of Martyrs cake. It looks like a crown to us with the strawberries on top surrounded by whipped cream.

~ Pretzel and cheese gates ~

The kids constructed gates on their own plates but I didn't get pics.

Since this was the official celebration of the Ascension, we also served chicken strips. Like Jessica said, "It is traditional to eat some sort of bird since Jesus "flew" to heaven."
